IMPROVEMENT IN FRUIT-JARS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.

140,916, dated July 15, 1873 application filed June 25, 1873'.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, Mrs. ELLAG. HALLER, of Garlisle, in the county ofCumberland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and ImprovedFruit-Jar; and I do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the same,'reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a sideelevation partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a top View with the stopper outof the jar. Fig. 3 is a bottom view of stopper.

The invention relates to fruit-jars; and consists in forming a groovefor the packing on the outside of body, while the cover is constructedwith a lip or flange that overlaps the groove and packing, thisconstruction allowing each to be blo n in a single piece, whereby theliability to fracture which exists where the neck is blown separatelyand applied in a plastic state, is entirely obviated, and whereby a jarof much greater simplicity and efficiency is secured.

In the drawing, A represents the body of a The former is blown in asingle piece, with an opening in the bottom, and provided with the usuallugs a a. It also has the groove 0, which slopes obliquely downward onthe outside, and therefore receives externally the rubber packingring D,which is held on one side by the edge a, and on the other by the one c.,The cover B is blown in one piece, and provided with a subjacent flange,b, that is beveled on the inside, fits over the groove 0 and fastenstight ly down uppon the rubber packing. D. D are the two cams on thelower parts of the stopper, having opening'spaces f f, by which the lugsa a are made to ascend above the cams, and gradually draw down the coverupon the packing.

Having thus described my invention, what.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A fruit-jarbody and cover A B, respectively, blown in a single piece, with thedown- ..Wardly-beveled outside groove 0, andthe inside beveled flange b,as and for the purpose described.
